Anolis Cristatellus ( Crested Anole )
What do you call a lizard that sings for a Rap Records?
A Rap-tile!
Interesting Fact: When looking for a mate or defending its territory, this anole will display its dewlap and perform “push-ups” to establish dominance. Males aggressively defend territories when mating, but only rarely does this result in physical combat. As a defense against predators, they autotomize their tails.

Anoles belong to the Iguanid family of lizards, with hundreds of species–all of whom do those “push-ups” to intimidate rivals. Oddly, certain members of the unrelated Agamid family–the Australian bearded lizard, for instance (popular as pets nowadays)–also do “push-ups” for the same reason. The two families are not related, they’re geographically separated by the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and yet they share this peculiarity of behavior. Hmmm….
Wow that is quite interesting. I wish I had the answer to how is this possible. Thank you very much for stopping by and sharing your thoughts with us. Really cool! Happy Blogging! 🙂
Lol.. this is great
Thank you very much, I am really glad to see that you enjoyed it. Happy Blogging! 🙂
I had lots of anoles growing up. Sometimes you’ll hear green anoles referred to as “chameleons.” They are very far apart from true chameleons, however, they can change color — the only reptile found in North America that can do so!
(nothing too crazy though — just shades of green/brown/black).
That is really cool, Thank you very much for stopping by and sharing your thoughts with us. Thank you again and Happy Blogging! 🙂
